RWS Group interview questions

RWS posted an ad that they were hiring in Medellin, Colombia so I applied. Was invited to an interview at well known hotel in the area. Met with the two managers (1 flew in from USA and the other from Argentina) and the interview went well. About a week later received an email that the were not moving forward. About 3 months later I get another email from the HR office in Argentina telling me that the last client fell through which is why they didn't move forward but they have a new client they need to hire a project manager and localization lead for. I interviewed again this time virtually over MS Teams first with the HR manager in Argentina then with the program manager in the USA. Interview went very well. I was asked salary expectations which I gave. I was told that they were interested in me but that my salary expectations were too high. Bear in mind that it would be a Colombian contract paid in pesos which would basically be well under $1000 USD. I told them I couldn't accept that since at my last position was was making at least 3 times that so I declined. I was then hired at another agency where I received exactly what I asked for in salary. The last two interviews happened with about 2 weeks of each other.

I applied during the final year of my degree, and was sent a test (checking some translated texts in German and Dutch); they were very accommodating, stressing that there was no stringent time limit. Then I went up for an interview and another test (essentially the same test I had done before, but under monitored conditions) with them in Alnwick; this, I think, went OK, but, from their answers to my questions, it became clear that career progression would be very, very slow, and there would probably be no liasing with the foreign branches of RWS, which was a disappointment. I didn't hear anything from them for a long, long time, then (after badgering the agency I applied through), they came back saying I had "failed the test" (the test I had done before, and which consisted of just finding a certain number of errors in the texts I was given). I don't think I'm being conceited when I say I think this is bull.
